A/N: Look who's back! Yep I'm back with a new story! This story follows Riff and Magenta through their childhood, early teenage years and later teenage years (it ends before the movie, sorry spoiler/disappointment). To be honest I got the idea for this while making a picture of Riff and Genta as kids and another of them as teens (which I will be posting on my Devientart account CollieKitty1975 once finished) and decided to try my hand at a story about them! I hope you enjoy, as always I look forward to your reviews and thoughts!
-Chapter 1-
It was a calm clear evening on the planet of Transexual in the galaxy of Transylvania, it was always night on the shore lined planet but one knew it was evening by the blue moon shining in the sky. Along one of the many moon drenched shores a house was completely lit unlike the ones around it with only one room left dark. Inside that one dark room a young boy, no more than 2, sat nervously in his bed watching as shadows moved under the door and the voice of his father and someone else seeped through the closed door.
Something was happening but he didn't know what, he couldn't understand what the words he was hearing meant despite being more mentally advanced than most children his age. The shadows moved across the floor again and his father's voice sounded nervous.
"It's coming out breach? Is she going to be okay?"
There was an answer to muffled by the door for the toddler to hear making him worry more. The shadow moved again and disappeared leaving a line of golden light on the carpet but it soon turned into the door opening enough for his father to look in. Onyx Vitus was tall and lean with black hair and sapphire blue eyes, eyes that looked around the room before landing on his son sitting up in bed looking much too concerned for a two year old.
He sighed with a tired smile and stepped into the room and walked to his son lifting him into his arms.
"What's wrong Riff? Are the lights keeping you up?"
Riff turned his own sapphire blue eyes on his father and shook his head so his blonde hair fell in his face a little before he pointed at the door.
"Mommy."
Onyx sighed again sitting on the bed holding Riff in his lap.
"Your mother is busy right now, your baby brother or sister is coming tonight."
Riff's look of concern turned into a slightly sour one making Onyx chuckle.
"What's the matter Riffy, don't you want a younger sibling? Someone who will look up to you, someone you can boss around?"
Riff shook his head again.
"No sister!"
Onyx chuckled again leaning back on the pillows holding his son close hoping he'd settle down to sleep.
"Well I guess you can't really boss a little sister around, heaven knows it never worked for me when your aunt Pat and I were little, but that means you'll have to protect her and always be there for her like a good big brother."
Onyx looked down at his son who still seemed stubbornly set on not wanting a little sister.
"You'll do that won't you Riffy? Be a good big brother to your sibling?"
Riff looked up at his father but only yawned in response rubbing his eyes making a soft smile cross Onyx's face as he carefully laid him in the bed and got to his feet, he tucked the blanket around his son watched as his blue eyes fluttered closed. Smiling Onyx kissed his son's head the silently left the room. For the rest of the night Riff slept through the shadows moving across the strip of light under his door, the mumbled sounds of his father's voice and the strange one as well as the tiny high pitched cry that filled the room down the hall.
In the morning the rays of the pale white moon shone into Riff's bedroom making it a little lighter than the night before. The door gently creaked open but what woke the toddler was the soft feel of lips against his head. His eyes fluttered open taking a moment to wake up enough to register his mother sitting beside him on the bed. Alice Vitus was a petite slender woman with blonde hair like her son's and eyes that were like liquid emeralds.
Alice smiled sweetly at her son as she lifted him into her lap then chuckled when he smiled and hugged her neck.
"Morning mommy!"
She returned the hug kissing his head.
"Good morning my sweet boy. I have a surprise for you."
Riff looked up at her his blue eyes widening a little with excitement that made Alice smile then look at the door as Onyx came in holding a small bundle in his arms that was making a very high pitched crying sound. Riff wanted to clap his hands over his ears at the sound, how could something so small make such a noise he wondered, but resisted as his father knelt before him allowing him to look at the baby swaddled in the pale yellow blanket.
The infant had milky white skin, pink cheeks, tiny hands and fingers, lips that were a little redder than normal for a baby, and a shock of bright red curls on its head. Riff reached out his hand and carefully took the baby's hand in his fingers and all at once it stopped crying and looked at him with emerald eyes that still glistened with tears.
"Riff this is your new sister."
Riff made a face but it vanished as his sister gave a small squeak and a smile as her tiny fingers closed around his own.
"What her name?"
Alice and Onyx shared a look before Alice smiled down at her son.
"Well Riffy she hasn't got one yet."
Riff looked up at his mother surprised.
"No name?"
Alice nodded looking down at her daughter.
"That's right, she doesn't have one yet. Would you like to pick her name sweetie?"
Riff looked down at his sister trying to think of a name that suited her. Many names crossed the toddler's mind, many he'd heard before or were of people he knew, but most didn't seem right until he remembered the color her room had been painted, a magenta purple with stars that glowed in the dark put on the ceiling by himself and his father.
"Magenta."
The name even felt right as he said it smiling at his sister when she made her little squeaking sound again. Alice and Onyx smiled at each other before Alice kissed Riff's head.
"Magenta it is then. Do you want to hold her Riffy?"
Riff looked a little nervous but nodded crawling out of his mother's lap to sit on the bed, smiling Alice took the newly christened Magenta into her arms then carefully set her in Riff's arms helping show him how to hold her head. Riff looked down at Magenta as she was placed in his arms and found himself smiling as she made little sounds at him her little hand reaching up and touching his cheek. Maybe he could get used to having a sister around as long as she didn't make that awful high pitched cry anymore.
